He is not an ex Oracle PM. He’s an old time chrome engineer who switched to management, he said it himself on the thread.
But this kind of corporate robot attitude is common for Google. It’s always the same story with them: they deprecate some service, write a heartfelt message about how they are aware this might destroy some projects/businesses and how difficult it was for them to make this decision, but they’re gonna do it anyways. Thank you very much for doing business with Google, have a nice day.
